In the club, at least for now…
Instead of staying in a hotel this year, I’m sharing an apartment or sorts (it’s a room in a Residence Hotel) with a fellow photographer, Andrew Wheeler, whose work has probably had more influence on me than any other sports shooter. I’ve known him in person for several years and it was largely his offer […]
Qatar Redux
I used to think that San Francisco to Europe was a long flight. But San Francisco to Qatar? When you get to Europe, you’re almost halfway there. From take-off at SFO to landing in Doha (with the odd stay on he plane lay-over in Riyadh): 23 hours of travel time. To make that trip you […]
Back in the saddle…
It’s almost that time again! The 2010 Grand Prix season starts in just under two weeks at the Losail International Circuit in Doha, Qatar, and I’m very excited to be returning to this unique place for the season opener. It’s going to be great to be track-side and in the paddock of the highest level […]
Canon to Nikon to Canon
The arrival of another child and the desire for photos without bringing a large DSLR and flash everywhere you find a newborn during the first week of her life meant that a point and shoot was needed in my camera bag. I’ve been watching a couple of models for a long time and finally picked […]
Venga la tormenta
On Thursday I went looking for another local point of interest in the Lake Tahoe area, the famed Bonsai Rock, which rests on the eastern shore of the lake, just below Sand Harbor. Someone on Flickr had posted the location of the rock, but actually getting to the spot was a bit of a challenge. […]
Sierra Wave
This was taken Sunday afternoon from Speedboat Beach. As I was came over Donner Summit I noticed this amazing cloud over the lake area and wondered if it would still be visible by the time I arrived at the water. It was, but it was too far north to photograph more than this section of […]
Best Seat In The House
These rocks are by the old Sutro Baths in San Francisco, and I don’t think anything has a better spot to watch the SF sunsets than they do. Info: Made with a Nikon D700 Digital SLR Camera, Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Nikkor Wide Angle Zoom Lens, on a Manfrotto 055XPROB Pro Tripod with a […]
Risky Business
The other day I noticed a pretty good break beneath the Golden Gate Bridge, so I thought I’d put my B + W #110 ND filter to use to soften the water as it broke on the rocks. The fog was also moving nicely as is passed through the north tower. The surf happened to […]
Tahoe Regional Planning Agency at Work
Several aspects of doing work on our place in Kings Beach have seemed unnecessarily complicated when it comes to what we can and can’t do on the property according to the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency. There are strict limits on moving soil, coverage of the land itself, runoff, etc etc. But after this last trip […]
